CNN this morning offered a platform for Obama partisan Roland Martin to play up Michelle Obama’s address on Monday night, and allowing her in an interview for CNN (and the black channel TV One) to proclaim that she really is proud of her country, in case you didn’t know. Once again, though, Mrs. Obama gave the distinct impression that she believes America to be great mostly because of her own station in life.

People who aren’t in the Obama tank might call Monday night “Boss Night.” From an obscure Dan Rather interview in April:

RATHER: You mentioned picking people, which is always important in a campaign, and triply important once you get to the White House. How did you come to David Axelrod? And how does it work between you. Is David Axelrod the single most important staff member?
OBAMA: Well– Well…
RATHER: Outside your wife?
OBAMA: My wife’s — the boss. Everybody knows that.

More on that interview is here. Obama is not simply joking around here. Employees have signs up reminding themselves “Whatever Michelle Says Is the Message.”
